New Video: Origami Diamond Star (Francesco Guarnieri)

I recently finished working on a new instructional video! This time, I demonstrate how to fold Francesco Guarnieri’s “Origami Diamond Star.” For this model, you will need 8 square sheets of paper. Each unit is folded from a single square, and I recommend using 4″ squares to fold the units. Using 4″ squares will result in a final model about 7.5″ in diameter. Once you’ve prepared your paper, you are ready to fold your Origami Diamond Star!

Submit Photos!
